Investment basics are essential. Here’s where to start…

Investing is about putting your money to work to achieve your personal financial goals. 'Plan your life, live your plan.' Yes, it's a cliché. But when it comes to investing your money, it makes a lot of sense to have a game plan.

The types of investments you should consider will depend on your investment goals. It's also important to consider the saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” and to diversify your investment choices as appropriate.

A smart investor takes time to understand the basic principles of investing and then follows a carefully tailored investment plan.
